Xphoon, DECwindows, Display moon in X root window

Building

Building Xphoon should be really easy. Just execute make.com and everything 
else should be taken care of automatically. The procedure auto-detectes the 
available C-compiler and Xwindows version and then proceedes to rebuild xphoon 
from the sources. No options and/or user inputs are required. This should work 
on both OpenVMS Alpha and VAX.

Usage

Simply running Xphoon puts a picture of the moon according to the current date 
into the root window of your X server. The phase of the moon is taken into 
account for this. If you do want to get regular updates on these write a short 
script executing Xphoon repeatedly in the background at regular intervalls.
